Intro
Cm D (x2)
[Verse 1]
Gm F D#
She said, what is it that I've done that you want me to be punished
Gm F D#
As she woke up one day to find he had started to vanish
F
If you overhear voices
Cm F
Perhaps you should not be listening
Cm D#
Twitch the vigilant lace,
F
Make a sly, sour face,
Gsus4 G
Set the scandalous whispering
[Chorus]
Dm C G
She's out on her own with the rest of her riches
Dm C G
As the kids paint him out of their refrigerator pictures
Cm
She picks up the bills
Dm
Pays off the babysitter
D# D# Cm D
'Cause everybody knows burnt sugar is so bitter
[Instrumental]
Cm D (x3)
[Bridge]
Am Dm7
Once there was a time
Am Dm7
Before he turned strange
Gm A#
She thought they would be together for more than a lifetime
Am Dm7
Look at him now
Am Dm7
My, how things have changed
D# Dm
He could tear the sweetheart out of any girl
Am D7
On just a whim
A# Gm
And turn it from a candy to a caramel
Am Dm
Then make her hate the silly way she used to feel
A#maj7 D#maj7 D#
And say, I know nothing about him
[Instrumental]
Cm D (x2)
[Verse 2]
Gm F D#
Now what's left of the birthday cake is very beautifully frosted
Gm F D#
An absent father picks up the phone to find the number's unlisted
F
And while the kids are distracted
Cm F Cm
They don't notice she's nervous at all
D#
But how long it will take
F
Not to make a mistake
Gsus4 G
When a gentleman comes to call
[Chorus 2]
Dm C G
She's out on her own with the rest of her riches
Dm C G
As the kids tear down their refrigerator pictures
Cm Dm
They already know how a woman may advance
D# Dm
From a pretty picture hat to a supermarket trance
Cm Dm
But if he's unkind he might as well forget her
D#
'Cause everybody knows
D# Cm D
burnt sugar is so bitter
Cm D Cm D
Burnt sugar is so bitter
Cm D
Burnt sugar
[Outro]
